To minimize the possibility of being scammed, overseas customers must keep the following in mind:

Firstly, don't pay through West Union, or pay to personal account in PayPal.

Secondly, don't try to buy original famous brand such as Ipod, Iphone, PS3 from China. Due to the low labor cost and sound industrial chain, almost all world famous brands have their products made in China by OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) way, for example Apple's Ipod and Iphone, HP and Dell's computer, Nokia and Motorola's mobile phone and Bluetooth headset, Kodak's digital photo frame, but restricted by law, the factories doing OEM for the said world famous brands never dare to sell the original products to the market without permission. On the other hand, only authorized distributors or franchise shops of the famous brands are entitled to sell their original products, but all famous companies have the same policy around the world, the price that a Chinese distributor can provide would be as the same as that in your country, not mention to the shipping cost, so if a Chinese supplier tells you that he can supply original product with low price, that means he lies to you. Let us take original Ipod as example, in Apple Corporation? Chinese official website: www.apple.com.cn, the cheapest Ipod Touch is RMB 1598 (USD 234) and the cheapest Ipod Shuffle is RMB 448 (USD 65), hence if someone tells you that he can supplies original Ipod products much cheaper than the said official price, you can make your judgment.

But if you only care about the quality, functionality and price instead of brand name, or you want to create your own brand, then China-made electronic items would be a perfect choice, because your products are made from the same region, same industrial chain as the said famous brands, therefore you can guarantee the product quality to the utmost extent, and you will be able to gain advantage over the world famous brands by providing the same quality and much cheaper price.
